Normal for us to have these kind of reactions specially when we do already deal with big amounts and even we do say that we are playing just for fun its still for ourselves to get stressed
and got worried if we lost that one unless if you are hella of a rich guy that doesn't bother on losing money.Each person do have its own consideration when it comes on whats big amount to them.$100 might be small for some but for majority it would be big so if you do seek for entertainment ,you wont consider on using all of the amount but due to impulsive reactions along the way then most likely you would end up on the common path.
Then it's contradictory to the idea of being a
stress-relief if you would be more stressed on worrying about winning or losing. Don't get me wrong everyone wants to win, but to what extent do we consider it as
having fun?
This also bothers me
The interesting thing is that we are not interested (I like this turn of phrase) in playing games where we can't lose anything. As I pointed out earlier in the thread, we could play the same dice using the test mode of a gambling bot (e.g. Seuntjies DiceBot), but I don't think we would get a lot of pleasure out of this activity. And now we have two extremes. At one extreme, we must expect to lose something in order to make a game interesting to us, and, at the other extreme, losses can be quite worrying and far from being fun (let alone being a stress-reliever)
